Flashenlightenment
By Bob Albrecht and George Firedrake
Denki is the Japanese word for
"electricity."
The kanji, or pictographic, character for den is
the first
character in many Japanese words about electric things and
ideas.
Denchi is the word for "battery." Denchi
runs a multitude
of gadgets in your home a nd car, and perhaps in your hand
as you
use a denchi-powered power tool to solve a math or
science
problem.
